摘要
The results of self-consistent exciton energy calculations in finite multiple-quantum-welIs with differing numbers of wells and varying barrier widths are described. The calculations show that even for a perfect system, the exciton localizes strongly in one well only. For a system with an even number of wells this leads to a spontaneous symmetry breaking.
